BabanBabanBan Vampire episode 11 recap
BabanBabanBan Vampire episode 12, titled Love, the Cross, and the Vampire, began with the continuation of Ranmaru's fierce fight against his older brother, Nagayoshi. Nagayoshi's revelation that he was the one who killed Ryoma Sakamoto - Ranmaru's former lover, and subsequent threat that he'd kill anyone he currently loves as well, gave Ranmaru the motivation to fight back.
However, Nagayoshi ended up dominating the fight and even slashed off both of Ranmaru's arms. Fortunately, the power of love came to Ranmaru's rescue, as he heard Rihito's voice from within in his final moments, which somehow caused his severed hands to regenerate and chop off Nagayoshi's torso.
With their situation now reversed, Nagayoshi accepted defeat and told Ranmaru to kill him, else he'd kill all of Ranmaru's loved ones once he regenerated. However, Ranmaru refused to give in to his brother's threats, claiming that as long as he was motivated by the power of love, Nagayoshi would be no match for him.
Immediately after this, Yamanba arrived at the scene with a makeshift cross to help Ranmaru, leading Nagayoshi to leap at Yamanba to drink her blood. Although the cross shouldn't have worked on a vampire, as Ranmaru had stated, it somehow ended up repulsing Nagayoshi and caused him to vomit violently. After this, Ranmaru stitched his brother up and enquired about why the cross worked on him.
Surprisingly, Nagayoshi revealed that he developed a fear of crosses when he came across a wikipedia page about vampires on the Internet, where he read that all vampires could be harmed by a cross. Since then, the typical weaknesses of a vampire started working on him - thus convincing Ranmaru and Yamanba that the fearsome vampire was dumber than he looked.
While they were on the rooftop, Ranmaru convinced Nagayoshi to move on from Nobunaga's death, and to find love in this new era instead. Although Nagayoshi never really saw humans as anything other than food, he was now determined to turn one into his lover. As such, he immediately tried making a move on Yamanba, who slapped him in response. Surprisingly, that slap caused him to become infatuated with her. With this, the episode came to an end.
What to expect from episode 12
